I think the new boss is the one sending the 'do it now' text messages. I also came up with a crazy theory during a 3am night feed that she is the real cult leader and is just using the James Purefoy character. Or possibly is second in command.

Re the Kevin/James question- definitely James.

I didn't think it was that gory A lot of the gore seems to be dead bodies, they don't show loads of violence on-screen compared to some other programmes. Also the gory details are a minor part of the story line rather than the main part, like those Hostel-type movies. Really, I've totally gone off violent things since the DDs were born but I can handle this show quite easily desensitised.

I predict new female boss is faking- the in depth spiel she gave when looking round the nanny's house (who else jumped and screamed when the mask moved??) was too deliberate to be real. She's a red herring. But Old Kevin Bacon might think it's real, go after her, and then the real followers will strike again!

The Nanny creeps me out- sex with door open?? Ok, stab your mother and bury her in the wall- but seriously love, shut the door!

Oh and anyone else really liking the Poe references and now wants to re-read all the stories?!

I'm so glad I found this thread (I was hoping there would be one). OMG it is so scary but brilliant! Episode 1 gave me nightmares and apparently I woke up DH and told him to go and get the children and put them in our bed so we could keep them safe!

For some reason I watched Episode 2 and when I screamed my poor dog ran downstairs to check I was ok! I was also a bit indignant to find that not only were the 2 neighbours serial killers, but they weren't even gay!

Can't wait for the next one.

I don't trust the ex wife or the new boss, but then I think everyone could be one.
